[[Salvaging]] is breaking down equipment into [[materials]] . This can only be done via the [[Blacksmith]] or [[Mystic]]'s interface. All normal (white) {{magic|magic}}(blue), {{rare|rare}}(yellow), {{set|set}}(green), and {{legendary|legendary}} (orange) items can be salvagedfor materials which are required for crafting recipes and enchanting. In D3v there were four different versions (tiers) of each type (save legendary) crafting materials, but not <span style="color:white">superior</span>one for each difficulty level. In [[D3v2]] and [[RoS]] there are only two tiers, <span style="color:white">normal</span>, or <span style="color:#909090">inferior</span> items. Every item is associated each with one five types of the four difficulty levelscrafting material, based on its item sorted from level, 1-60 and yields materials based on that and its raritylevel 61-70.[[File:Blacksmith-salvaging.jpg|right|thumb|200px350px|The blacksmith's salvage interface.]]
